It was in tliie vicinity ofthe derot, and there Wits muchtrundliug of trucks-tind apitting ofengines, and consequently Sana JonesE resumed that his salutation hadeen unfleard;About noon en the same day, AmosHuylmnd, Esq., sauntered forth fromhis office to attend to a little businessin another part of the town. Theboys were just coming from school,and stared at him and whisperedamong themselves. Finally, EbyDarby stepped up and exclaimed :"Mr. Jlr. can't fcink of yourname, sis but Diok has runaway."WMtr"He. has gone to New York, everystitch of him, and is neves? comingback. He said I might tell you aftertwelve o'clock ; for he would be toofar off for you to catch him then.The father stood still with his eyesriveted on the speaker, for a moment,and then turned on his heel, and inan BBjtsuii ajp in sahi Mferwry of hisown. house. , ,Amy" be called tons wife, '' doyou know anythine about Dick?""(x nas not rexurnsa from schoolyet.

In afew moments she returned, fcjokingfrightened and curious. -"His books are there: but his carpet-bag and his clothes are gone.Wttavt doee itall mean?" zfThat our son has actually runaway started for New York."mere were rea eyes ana saa Heartsin the Huyland mansion that afternoon and Dick's elder brother. Alfred,a line boy-vf seventeen, who was inthe post-office on a salary of eighthundred a year, was anxious to nur-suq and capture the young deserter.Ho : JPieK must have tune and opportunity given him to acquire useful InformatjrBar," said hia father, .al-Ifiougn it was a nuceahie tact thathe had to clear htrntl half-a-dozentimes before he could artionlateaccording to Quackenboss.At "supper-time, Philo, a lad of thirteen, declined bread-and-butter, ar.dsweatmeats, and hat biscuit, andjelly-cake, and tdasts arw tS, andwhen. asKed it he was sick, replied:"I don't knovr as I have got thecroup ; but I am awful like babywas when he had it last spring.'', "Mamma," said little 4ve year ohiMary, "Is gorag to New Vi;rk lustthe same as being dead?"- And whan .iha-niioAidn K.nnivkVower ortjn instead of an answere continued. rkR "loS""N"aever -Wll takemethere when I die."Meanwflne tne traveller had pass-I c liug, iiii.'V.1uiuvi V, J aU 44 1 n 4, 4443congratulated himself "upon his successful escapade, tie aad marchedboldly "down the' frorrt street, andnot a sou except hia cousin BamJones had taken the slightest noticeof him. He was glad to get off soeasy, but a little chagrined, after all,at his own insignificance. Fairlyoutside the pale of parental jurisdiction and whizzing on to his destiny,Iiis heart grew TenoMHaTMnse notonly stood up to give 4-41ttle girl hisseat, but SflStowefi tanfcaatple he had'crammed in his pocket fbr lunch ona big baby who was crying lustily.As the hours waned, his spiritssank, and, according - to nature, hecommenced a recapitulation of theiwrongs and injustices of which hehad been the victim. He did not seewhy Alfred and Philo need be somuch better-looking than himself.very body called them handsome,while he had been often told that hewas as homely as a hedge fence.They were genteel and elegant, andobjects of admiration to his parentsand friends. It wasn't fair. To besure be was the genius in the family ;but what of that? It only compelledhim to go to school, while Alfredwas making money, and getting agood start in the world. He did notlike his father's cynical mannerwhen he complained of his teacher,found breakers in his algebra,anathematized chemistry, and declared .Latin a bore. And thenwhen he asked him if lie might go into business be said."What '. Before you get your bibsoff? I den't think that is your forte.Xou are not careful enough aboutyour dollars and cents. We shallrave to make yon up into a professional man. it take Alfred to do thefinanciering."Dick felt as if he had been swallowing lire-brands, and opened the carwindow. A cat was running on thefence down beside the track, and heIIwihed he was out where he couldstep on her tail. How his motherlaughed when he told her once thath meant to be as rich as A. T. Stewart and live in New York when hegot to be a mail.Bttt it was his dear old grandmother who had committed the unpardonable sin. She had been for weeks allthe time asking why Dick had grownrso moody and taciturn. And thathad put It into biio's neaa to canhim Stupid and ill-natured. Dickpitlledorrhis soft hat and threw itdown upon the seat violently, thenplaced it upon his head. He did notlike these pricking memories. Hewould show the folks at home and'everywhere else, that he was able totake care of himself ; and when hehad earned five hundred dollars. no,when he had five thonsand dollarand a horse and carnage five million, would be better, or five hundred millions, and a house on Fifthavenue, with a French roof, and atrain of railroad cars stopping at thefront door every time its master feelsinclined to take a short walk.Of course the kind-hearted conductor was oblivious to all these extraordinary air-castles ; and when theconductor oame along in the regulardischarge of his duty, saw on iy a verycommon-place boy, stretched ont ona seat all alone, and fast asleep.Having noticed him in the earlierpart of the. morning, and remembering his destination , he did not Wakenhim. And so, many thanks to him,Dick got a tolerable night's res t. Asate neared the end of his journey, hismind was crowded with plans. He'knew but one person in the metropolis, a partner in the baking powderbusiness, whose address he had seemed, and to him he resolved to apply for work. He would let himselfn witn, so as toHe would takea montUfSulessn him. Hut theust have an in-wages orleave, and hesMkdd sons b Jit tfif top of .the ladder. He had studied New York from amap ot the city, and tado difficultyin engineering his way through thecrowded streets. He found Mr.Boniface, who received himwarmly,bat had no situation to give him.Indeed, he had more boys about himjjjfow than he knew how to manageA, keep busy. He would keep asharp look out for Dick though, andhe must come in every day and report progress.Dick found a cheap lodging-housein the lower part of the city whereha atals) aim aiiMait Thai navf niTr'iin? he visited all the eatinerbousesand compared prices. Then hecounted hie money to see just how long itwould last, for he had by no meansa heavy purse. Mr. Borriface offeredhim a cot in the upper part of bisstore when he made his second callupon that gentleman, and it wasgladly accepted. But no situationhad been seen going round lookingfor a boy, and Dick determined tostart out and find one.Verv few business houses on theprincipal streets south of City Hallthat were not visited by a modest,well-dressed, intelligent looking boy,during the next live days. Sometimes he was treated civilly, bat wasofteuer abruptly aad sharp lyjdismissed. What time bad busy men togive to such young fortune hunters ?His heart was very heavy, but hiscourage was luce the widow's on.The only thing that gave him positive anxiety was the state ot nis nnances. He never knew befcre howmuch It "cost a feller"to get enoughto eat. He must take some decidedstand in that regard or he should bebankrapt sure. So he limited himself to twesty-nvo cents a meal, andfirmly resisted all farther tempta-t ions. to his bovish appetiteBut the wisest and most sensiblething he did w as to buy a return-tickethome, before he should by - anychance spend all his money. Notthat he intented to use it, though hefelt as if he would give his right handfor one of his mother's good breafc-rastS;, ana ne uau many a ureu longine: for his own comfortable roomwith the spring-bed and rocking chairin-it..' He had promised to write to ElyDarby, who was going to run awayas soon as ne got tueieuur, iu abookstore in Nassua street he got apen and ink and fulfilled the' task.But be very confidentially informedhis friend that it "didn't pay" andadVised him to say Where he was.The second week passed verymueh like the first. He was industrious in his efforts to get somethingto do. He drew someneavy sighsbut nobody beard tnem. ie wondered why his father had taken nonains to find out his whereabouts.and finally settled down into the belief that he had hartily been missedHe had made himself so disagreableof late, perhaps they were all gladto get rid of him. His money wouldhold out but a few days longer andwhat was he to do 7 He should feelpretty cheap at goln r back withoutan invitation. He wished his fatherwould come and "blow him up" and"thrash him" as some men wouldana then take him home, and"wouldn't he stay there though !"He did not know thatMr.Bonifacehad received several private communications, and been instructed towatch over the runaway and see thatno harm came to him. While at.thesame time.it was thought best to allewtMmm&fttlMWiRvtowniBcfaastious even at ue risk ofa pretty aslgb tlan. a.One mornirig he stood in the storedoor cogitating. JbLe baa came tothe last twenty-five cents, and it wasbefore breakfast, although it was teno'clock. He was hungry. What boyof fifteen ever saw the time he wannot ? But he did not like to be absolutely penniless. Neither did hequite like to make use of the ticketsthat were scorching his pockets until he could almost detect a bluesmoke arising.He saw a gentleman coming towards him and recognized an uncle,his father's brother, who lived in thecity."Ah, Dick! that you? How areyou. Living here, eh ? Do you likeNew York?""Yea, sir, pretty well.""Arfl you busy to-day ? Supposeyou come up and take dinner withvciv vneap n uritinme more surely.latwo halndred dollarssecond month he ncrease ofme and we will talk over businessmatters a little.Dick's eyes filled with tears andhis heart leaped for joy. He shouldget one good straight meal surewithout losing his self-respect. Thatwas what his stomach said. Perhapshis finer feelings were touched bythe unexpected meeting. If not theywere aroused to an exciting degreeby some remarks which followed."By the way, Dick, I have had aletter from your father lately, andhe has entrusted me with a little rollof money for you, which be says youmay use as you see fit. He thinksperhaps your expenses here mayhave exceeded your calculations, andhe wants that you should have agood time.Dick sobbed outright."I don't deserve any such kindness, uncle Dick," he said after amoment's pause. "1 wisb be badasked me to come home. I wonderif .""They want to see you there ? Ofcourse they do. Cheer up my boy . Ifyou have had enough of this littletown ail you have to do now is totake the back track and commencewhere you left off."Dick felt exceedingly comfortablewhen he went to bed that night, andslept more sweetly than in monthsbefore. He was in the guest-chamberof his ancle and it looked somuch like home that he left the gasburning to enjoy it. He waked before daylight and finding some poneand paper on the table, jumped upana wrote tne roiiowing letter."My dear Father : I shall never be able totell you how ashamed I am of myself, or bowmuoh I thank you for your unmistakable tokenof confidence. I would rather come home andgo to school than stay anywhere else if I couldget forty f ituations. DncleDick thinks I badbetter wait until Wednesday, and then take thetrain West. My best love to mother and Maryand the boys. Your affectionate son,Diok."When he called to bid IMr. Boniface good-bye he learned that one ofthe gentleman to whom he had applied a few days before, had leftword that he had a place for himnow and would give him ten dollarsa week for his services."If I was a little older and my education complete, I wouldn't mindaccepting," replied Dick with avery manly air ; ""but I shall do nothing without the advice of my father hereafter, he is so mueh betterable to judge for me than I am formyseiT." -"Oh !" said hia little cousin Dick(it was a family name) as a nice lunchwas being put up for his journey,"won't you catch it when yoa gethome? Your father will .look daggers at you and say, 'My dear sir areyou going to run away any more ?'and then he will take you up-stairsand pad-da-whack you.But Dick only smiled and remarked, that he expected all the boyswould be after him and he probablyshould never hear the last of his tripto New York.It was near mid-day when he arrived in Tontogany. His father methim at the depot and greeted himwarmly."Hadn't we better take a carriageup ?" whispered Dick."No, I think we had better walk."They passed along through thecrowd out into the street when Dick'scourage again faltered."Hadn't we better go up to thehouse the back way ?""No, my son, it is just as well toface the music. The boys will havetheir fun anyway, and if you are inthe right it won't strike very deep.""Halloa, Baking-Powdex !""There's Dick sneaking home !Didn't make much trying to getahead of the old man !" and similarexpressions greeting him at everystep, but he walked with a firm stepand only bowed to such of his friendsas chose to accost htm in a respectable maaner.He wondered how it was thateveryone in the home-household wasso glad to see him. His pretty mother looked as if she had spent herwhole life in weeping, and when shestrained him to her heart aad muttered words of thankfulness that he hadbeen restored to her onoe more, hertears ran down his neck and nearlydissolved his new paper collar. Maryclung to him whenever she could geta good hold, and pulled him from oneplace to another in the wildest confusion. Philo rolled up the easychair for him to sit in and carriedliishat into the hall and hung it on therack. Alfred seized him by the coatcollar with his two hands and shookhim till he was half blind."How well vou are lookinsr. Major !

Y . Mercantile Journal .It sometimes occurs that an entirenation falls so completely under thecontrol of gloomy Impressions thattheir mental gaze can no longer seea gleam of light in the clouds thatenviron them. With bodies of men,this is usOally the result Of thosecrises in their organization and progress, from which nothing human isexempt. As our nature is a strangecompound of weakness and ofstrength, so must oar destiny onearth be a varied succession of triumphs and of failures. History isbut the narrative of national struggles for existence and supremacy afluctuating record of glory and ofgloom, marked by the painful progress upward, the temporary triumph, and, then, the decadence, either swift or gradual, of nation afternation, which each, in turn, dazzledand overawed the world. The Isrealites ; the Babylonians ; the Medesand Persians ; the Egyptians ; theGreeks, and, then the Romans, raceafter race, and state after state, controlled mankind, and then sank fromthe pinnacle of their greatness togive place to new developments ofsocial and political organization.But, during the period of their progress, the most difficult and perplexed passages of their career, until thelast, were but the forerunners oftheir grandest triumphs. The veryerrors they had committed becamethe sources of better self-examination,closer discipline, and, subsequently, wiser effort. . i,.When we apply tne same pnuosopby to the career of individuals, thelesson imparted to us there, is stillplainer and more instructive. Thegreatest ana the best of men, in thehigher Christian point of view, andin a practical light, as well, is not hewho nas never fallen, buthe who hasraised himself and girding his loins,again, with manly courage for thebattle of life, has gone forth withhope and faith in his heart, and Godabove him, to raise and conquer atlast.We are led to these reflections bythe gloomy and despondent tonethat we too often hear among ourbusiness classes, and from the editorial desk. Vexed by the many trialsto which peculiar management hassubjected the prosperity of our country, we, too, nave oeen more manonce tempted to repine and earnestly complain.But, when shaking off the momentary influence of some mistakethat ve observe in legislation ; somedeficiency in the guiding hands thatcontrol this or that branch of publicdevelopment, we take in, at onebroad view, the vast extent of oarpositive progress ; the grandeur ofour national domain ; the magnificence of the conquests alreadyachieved over the wilderness andover the barbarism of past ages, andsurvey the limitless variety and opulence of our natural resources, thesummer sun is not brighter at hisriainar than the future that dawnsbefore our mental vision. "The moretoo that we look and ponder thepromises that Frovidence baa apparently strewn broadcast in the pathof this nation, the more sustained wefeel in believiua that we shall quickly emerge from all the dUBoultweithat have recently surrounded us,and ascend by swift graduations tothe most commanding position everyet held by any people, not even excepting those colossal states of theancient world, which once graspedat universal empire.The public mind is ripening uponall great questions of national policy,and is settling to sound views of finance, revenue, taxation, publicworks, international law, and homecontrol, In accordance with the spirit of this peculiar people, end the demands of our situation, and of theage in whioh we live. The mistakesof the past have been an admirableschooling, and the future, we believe.wili be the safer and the brighter for them. A very few years agowe were seriously exposed to a sodden overthrow of our Bystem, thro'the heedlessness and indnfference ofour business classes to what was going on in legislative ard politicalcircles. All that seif-eatitfled dreaming has been broken up by the hardpinching of the past twelvemonth,and the two preceding seasons. Themind of trade has been thoroughlyaroused and stirred tn nervous vigilance, and we now observe symptomsall around us that the voice of commerce, backed by the requirementsof labor, is going to be most potential In the great governing centresof the nation, hereafter. Than thatthere could not be a healthier sign ofcoming good.At the same time, the outward elements of material strength and opulence grow with accelerated speed.Oar area of agriculture broadens byhundreds of miles from year to year;steam navigation and railroad transit strike out new filaments of lifewhile we gaze ; the steam and tele-a-rankman of 1869 is already growing antiquated in the first quarter of1870 ; our immigration increases byfrom 25 to SO per cent., in differentnationalities, no longer comes to ussickly and penniless, but hearty, intelligent, and with something toartend : those sections of the countrythat contain our richest staples, thecotton-bearing Sonth and the grain-growing West, never had receivedsuch an upward Impulse as 1870 isbringing to them, and the voice offault-finding and evil predictions issmothered amid heaped up granariesand well crammed storehouses.We cannot help thinking, then, atwe get farther on in the year, thatafter all the rouch work of the laslthree or four seasons, the bright sideof the picture is beginning to turntoward us. and we have only to lookclosely in order to see the lightbreaking through to us on all sidesI know somebody who always appears to be miserable, and this Is theway she contrives to be so, thinkingalways about nerseu, constantlywishing for that she has not got.idline away her time, fretting andgrumbling.

How didyoa come by this money ?""I worked, and earned it, sir. Mytime was out last night, and I gotmy money.

Itopens by statingthat "the decrease of the populationamong country towns of New England is startling," and affirm thatthe same is true of Connecticut, NewHampshire and Vermont. Farmscan be bought for less than what thebuildings are worth. Some of thetowns ar almost depopulated ; whiteneighborhoods, are abandoned, andonce elegant mansions are going towreck. On the authority of Rot.Dr. Gale, of Lee, the Journal givesthe following statement respectingthe Church in one county: S a.There are thirty-three Congregational churches In the county, andonly fourteen settled pastors. FiveQf these churches have no regularservice, and fourteen hire clergymenfor a stated tisHSt . JqMgft therearsrtwenty-six Congregational churchesand twenty-three pastors.
